Oxidative properties of ComPtn clusters — •Ivan Baev, Kai Chen, Steffen Fiedler, Michael Martins, and Wilfried Wurth — Universität Hamburg, Institut für Experimentalphysik
From investigations of the magnetic properties of ComPtn clusters with XMCD it could be seen that the presence of Pt in these clusters can enhance their probability to oxidize. Now these oxidative properties are studied systematically.
It is possible to create small, mass-selected clusters with the size of several atoms with the "ICARUS" cluster source. The created clusters are landed onto a Cu(100) surface with a surface coverage of approximately 5% and investigated with XPS. We measure the Co-2p photoemission lines of Co, Co2, CoPt and Co2Pt clusters to gather information about their oxidative properties. The goal is to measure the change in shape and position of the 2p-lines if the clusters are exposed to a particular oxygen atmosphere and temperature. For comparison CoO and Co2O clusters can also be created directly with "ICARUS".
A proof of the oxidative properties of Pt in ComPtn clusters is a starting point to search for other reactions that are mediated by ComPtn.
The small size of ComPtn clusters allows in principle to conduct in depth theoretical calculations. This can lead to new predictions of catalytic active clusters.
